All the new movie trailers we are obsessing over

Holy Lego Batman!

Oh the sweet sweet joy of watching a good trailer! Few things set you up for a disappointment or redemption as a good, nice cut of film that you might or might not watch in the distant or near future, depending on how said cut of film manages to tell you everything while telling you nothing. Why did everybody want to watch Suicide Squad? Why does everyone want to watch Wonder Woman? Why is no one still feeling Ben Affleck as Batman aka Bruce Wayne in Justice League? Great trailer, good trailer, sad trailer. Here, the ones that are getting us excited.

‘Dunkirk’

“At the point of crisis, at the point of annihilation, survival is victory…” The trailer of Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, with its ticking-clock soundtrack and apocalyptic ominousness, prompts many re-watchings. Release date: July 21, 2017

‘Ben-Hur’

Not often do you see Morgan Freeman waving his staff and going, “Go! Go!” And neither do you see that chariot race enacted. Ben-Hur is back and we’re ready for the ride. Director Timur Bekmambetov’s remake of the 1959 Oscar-sweeping film stars Jack Huston in the titular role, alongside Toby Kebbell, Mr Freeman, Rodrigo Santoro and Nazanin Boniadi. Release date: August 19, 2016

‘Storks’

The film takes off from the whole “storks deliver babies” tale. Only, it turns out, they’ve jumped on the e-commerce bandwagon and are now delivering mobile phones—until old callings call. The cast includes Andy Samberg, Jennifer Aniston and Ty Burrell. Release date: September 23, 2016

‘Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children’

Tim Burton’s back with his weird, magical, scary world. A world where cute little girls with ribbons in their hair come with monster teeth, and the idea of sharing a teddy bear means it being vertically divided into two. Release date: September 30

‘The Lego Batman Movie’

Batman’s in Bat Cave, and he’s getting a lecture from Alfred after having his computer privileges taken away. Also he has a son, a young orphan he adopted at some gala thinking he was being ironic. There’s ‘Black & Yellow’ on the soundtrack and a really cool password to get back home. Release date: February 10, 2017
